Hi Cheryl, I am trying it now..... And yes it does fit around my big toe nicely & then tucks under to Velcro. I think this will work well for you. I love mine for wrist weighs when walking. Just to let you know, I am 112 lbs. & wear a size 6 shoe. Still think it'll work on a larger foot!

I just barely fit my thumb in the hole, you might get a thumb tow in but it might be too uncomfortable. U can just use something to tie thru the hole and around your foot. It might even stay just wrapped around like An ankle weight but on your foot.

It can fit over your toe for those type of exercises, but it may not be comfortable as it was designed for the thumb.

Yes, i have many people who are using them successfully. It depends on how far the bunion has formed. It's definitely not a quick fix. You are trying to re educate your feet, and learn how to properly distribute your weight so when you walk your weight distributes more on the outside arch. Ideally you could find a good body worker. Bunions sometimes start because of the way your legs are distributing the weight in to your feet. These are lines of force that need to be redistributed. And then of course the kinds of shoes you wear are incredibly important. I hope this helps. John William Johnson, licensed massage therapist

The ankle weights I bought several years ago fit a small boned ankle quite well. Not sure which product to which your are referring.

You should plant your feet on either side if the weight window. Your toes may hang off the front edge of the scale a bit depending on foot size, but you can clearly read the weight window info. I hope this helps.

This brace has a hard material along the outside of the thumb, which might protect you from pain. However, depending on the type of injury you have, the hard material might also cause pain if bumped. I suggest that you buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, return it. I believe if you say the reason for return is that the product does not work, your return shipping is free. You might check that with Amazon first.

It fits my smallish foot (womens' size 6 to 7) quite well. The strap over the top of the foot is of a generous length, so it would no doubt fit a much larger size foot as well. Possibly the toe strap could be too short for an extremely large big toe (man's), but would definitely fit the majority. Measurements: foot strap is approximately 13 inches long, plus a little extra for the velcro fastening - could maybe extend to 14 inches if less overlap is allowed for the velcro; toe strap is 4 inches, plus extra for the velcro fastening. Length of toe support from tip to centre of pivot is just over 2 inches; length of side-of-foot support from centre of pivot to tip is just over 3 inches. Hope this helps.

this might be a bit big. perhaps use 3 inch instead of 4. I have only used this for foot/ankle splints.

No....The thing probably wont even go on your foot! I ordered a large size and it was so small it wouldnt go on. Not a good product.

No! It's too big. Big enough for 2 big toes. Too big to be useful unless you have fat toes.

I only use it on a middle finger. I don't know how it would work on your thumb. if it were me I woulduse a thumb splint. so sorry I can't be more help to you

I would not run in this product with the five pounds in each ankle. You may be able to use two to three pounds without worrying about the Velcro coming undone. I haven't tried more than power walking in them with all five pounds and it is fairly awkward feeling.

Not sure if this comes in different sizes. I wear a size 8 and am not heavy. It fit my big toe but also my middle toe if I wished to wear it on that. I cannot guarantee, but it seems it might stretch to fit a man but would contact the seller for 100% guarantee.

you have to do your thumb separate, unless you can really contort your hand to get your thumb in line with your fingers. The light is curved a bit, but for me, trying to put my thumb in at the same time is not very practical or comfortable. I was able to do my toes without problem.

On mine, it is the inside diameter where your toe goes. The good points are the fact that you can cut it to any shape to make it fit and there is plenty of it. You will find it lasting a long time. Your name suggest you have big feet. If so, you might want a larger size. If one is not available I'm sure you can find a way to make this work for you. It definitely protects the top of your toes, which is why I ordered it.

I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs. In fact, I prefer barefoot for doing toe raises since I get a better feel for the weights that way. I also modified the foot platform by bolting a wooden 2x6 plank across the entire width for greater flexibility in foot placement -- wide stance to narrow stance. Also, get some axel grease and apply it to the sliding tubes or the thing will squeal like a stuck pig. Otherwise, it's a good unit for the price and it does not take up too much space. Just be sure to cover the head rest with large pillows for additional comfort. I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs.

Unfortunately, "large" is a very relative term. You won't get all the coverage that a person with a smaller leg might get, but I believe you probably can get sufficient coverage to help. I believe you can contact the company who makes the product and get a clearer idea. But, Amazon is great about returns. I'd buy one, give it a try for size when you receive it, and return it if it doesn't fit well enough. It overlaps on my daughters ankle and foot. It's a great product. I hope it fits you!!

Don't know, Mine does not, I tighten it securely when locking feet in seems to put less stress on my ankles. Maybe you have angle problems of some kind because My ankles don't bother me weather tight or loose on feet lock. Sorry
